" You foolish girl who asked you to do such a thing!" Seeing Ji Shan hurt herself, Old madam Shen was reminded of how her daughter tried to hurt herself when she refused her marriage with Su Bai, she couldn't help but scold the latter. " Who said that you are a murderer, did I believe it? As long as I don't believe it no one will dare to say otherwise."
After saying so she sharply glared at the other guests who have been watching the scene, they all lowered their heads at once except the Shen brothers and their children.
Ji Shan shook her head and squeezed a few more tears to make herself look even more pitiful. " I am not a fool, Old madam Shen. I am a girl, I don't have much except my pride if it was tainted as well what will be left of me? I will rather leave and live a poor life than being called a murderer, if I lose my pride and respect then how will I live in the future?"
Then she started to take the jewellery that she was wearing off and handed them all to Old madam Shen before she sobbingly added, " Old Madan Shen, I wish I could hand this dress to you as well but I don't have a change of clothes with me, can I take it with me to my home? I will wash and return it, you can give it to your biological granddaughter or maybe——" she bit her lips and then aggrievedly added, " If she doesn't like it then you can burn or sell it as well but I won't dare to keep it."
With her performance forget about the Old madam Shen even the hearts of the guests started to ache.
Old madam Shen felt her heart ache the most as she threw the jewellery aside and grabbed Ji Shan's hands as she tried to stop her from leaving her. " I know that you are angry my dear, but you don't need to leave I mean you are angry at those idiots sons of mine but I am your good grandmother you love so much, right? Though he is the master of this house as well but I am the matriarch, he has no right to say anything against you when I am willing to bring you to the family, who is he? Just a master! What right does he have to guide what his mother does and doesn't do? Don't worry as long as I am by your side, no one can refuse your place in this house, you got it? Now calm down and pick yourself up, we need to take care of your injuries as well."
Ji Shan was relieved as long as she was able to take Old madam Shen away from here she will be able to make her side with her but she didn't even get a chance to breathe in relief before the subordinate of Shen Zizhen tipped the man who was fighting for his life in the closed sack and somebody immediately shouted, " Woah isn't that the family doctor of the Shen family?"
Ji Shan's heart jumped as she turned her head looking startled and what she saw made her shake her head in disbelief, they really found him? How did they find him? How was that possible? Didn't her grandfather send this man away for like a month ago and only asked his men to get the medicine on time. So what was this man doing here? How did he get caught so soon?
Yes, Ji Shan was prepared to be caught but before that, she wanted to take care of Old madam Shen and send her on her way to hell who would have thought that she was caught before that! She even increased the dosage of the medicine that she used to give to Old madam Shen hoping that she would die and all the properties under her name will be named under her name, so why was it that her plan fall to ruins before that happened?
If Old madam Shen died and then she was caught, she would still be able to leave the house given that the properties were already under her name and the Shen brothers would have never caught her after that, like she would have used the money and ran away and even if they tried to hurt her the properties would have protected her well! They wouldn't have hurt those properties that belonged to their mother!
Now thanks to her father and grandfather's incompetence she was going to be ruined! What the hell!
" Grandma—-"
Before she could say anything the subordinate took off the handkerchief that was tossed in the mouth of the doctor and the man hurriedly shouted. " The Ji family! It was the Ji family who asked me to add slow-acting poison to the medicine of the Shen family's matriarch they wanted to kill her and gave me a good amount of money to do their dirty work! I am sorry! I was greedy and I did something so terrible! Please let me go, I swear I will never do this again! Please! Stop!"
Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi's means were never simple they were men who ruled their business with nothing but fear, anyone who crossed them knew how scary they could be, it could be said that those who tried to hurt them suffered a life that was worse than death.
Of course, the pampered doctor of the Shen family will never be able to take the pain and torture that he was being subjected to, so he immediately confessed worried that if he was even a minute late he would be tossed back into the dark room and would be tortured like he was living in hell. " The Ji family gave me ten hundred silver taels to do this! Please I will never do this again! Just let me go,I swear I will never do it."
